I think that creating sub genres isn't going to decrease the
variety you are going to hear when playing out. That depends more
on the dj or musician as opposed to what the music is called. One
can play more than one sub genre; just because a sound has been
further classified, does not mean there can be no inter-mixing.
I guess my feeling is that IDM is getting to be an awfully large
playing field; it encompasses a lot of different types of music.
There is a pretty darn big gap between Arovane and Venetian Snares
and I think it is reasonable to discuss different ways to classify
the obvious musical branching within the genre.
